I just built my rig a few weeks ago and its my first one with mid range specs. I just want to ask if my cpu/gpu is safe with the mentioned temperature? Been playing DMC, 5 AC Unity (all at max graphics) and didn't tweak fan speeds. My room temperature ranges from 30-40% without AC if that helps.

Been thinking of liquid coolers but don't want the risks associated with it. Thank you.

Your GPU will be thermal throttling at that temperature so you will be losing some potential peak performance too.
It is too hot really and should be running lower.

Some improved case ventilation around the GPU's fans and exhaust mesh will help dissipate the heat.

If you take the side of your PC case off and run that game what sort of temperature do you get?
If it is considerably lower than 85c then that indicates the card is cooling properly and it is a ventilation issue.
You can increase your GPU fan curve to a more aggressive one using MSI Afterburner to help cool it better.

Thanks for the reply bro! I'll try to remove the side case once I get home. BTW, I tried installing the MSI Afterburner and saw that my fan speed is on "Auto" and going 100% when playing games. Should I fix it to 100% or leave it alone to auto?

Another question, I played FF XV all max in settings except only 100% on texture and got around 80% temperature a -5C lower compared to my last temperature check. Is this now normal temperature? Or what is normal range btw?

No, I wasn't kidding! My brother used to have a fan like that near his computer to keep it cool. But you have to take the side panel off to let the cool air in. Yes, it could be just a temporary solution, but you are fighting high ambient room temps which is the main problem. 30c in your room is quite hot, 40c is very hot! Your GPU fan already goes to 100% so it can't get any faster. Your GPU needs a better cooler, otherwise all you can do is remove the side panel and/or use an air conditioner.

Oh, sorry I thought you're kidding because I can imagine how fast dusts will accumulate in your rig. I'll do that I guess for the time being while contemplating on liquid coolers because sadly, even with AC my GPU temp still peaks at 83C.

Will take a slot on your case, but it appears the idea is to place it under your GPU with these fans running, trying to force cool air directly into the graphics card. Can't say how much this will reduce temps, but sounds like for your case every little bit will help.

May I just mention, risks depends on what type of liquid cooler you're going for. If you are going for a custom loop, then yes there is a risk since you have to do pretty much everything yourself. However, if you buy an AIO (All In One) liquid cooler, this is 100% risk-free, the water is already injected in the loop when you buy it. All you need to do is mount it to your pc. There is simply no way you can Removed up an AIO install, assuming you don't intentionally destroy it.

I thought liquid coolers for gpu are all customized because i haven't seen one in stores here in our country bro, so that's what i'm referring to. Can I have a link for gpu AIO liquid coolers? The only AIO I saw is the rtx 2080 with pre-installed AIO. Sorry, I'm noob here LOL
